2. LIGHT - DARK

In my past productions, I have focused on how to mix natural and artificial sounds. I have been experimenting with methods and proportions of mixing the two because I have always believed that only when the two are perfectly blended in an exquisite way can a beautiful work of art be created.

One day, I came across a passage in a book by the Japanese artist Taro Okamoto in which he referred to the beauty of Japanese gardens, and I was very strongly attracted to it.

He wrote, "The artificial garden, which is the unreal, and the landscape outside the garden, which is the real, are distinguished and recognized more clearly by the stone wall or fence that separates the two."

In other words, by placing not only the two but also a third party between them, a dialectical resolution is achieved, and the whole becomes more beautiful.

I began to feel strongly about applying this to my sound production and put it into practice. To incorporate something else between the melody produced by the synth, which is the unreal (artificial), and the field recording, which is the real (natural). In fact, you can see the struggle in some of my past works. I will not go into it here, but anyway, I pursued the third party, the so-called "Boundary line," and became strongly interested in the "Boundary line" itself.

It is something that lies between two things and separates them. In my daily pursuit of this, there was a moment when I suddenly looked at the sky at dusk. The sky was a beautiful gradation of bright yellows and reds left behind by the sun, and blues and blacks as the evening sun began to set. At that moment, I wondered, "Is there a border between each color of the sky?" I began to wonder if it would be possible to answer this question with sound.

As in the previous work, the theme of this piece is that "While being in the midst of transition, it is almost impossible to recognize that transition itself", and this time, I imitated the changing colors of the sky at sunset and dawn. Just as I cannot clearly distinguish the color of the sky I saw from yellow up to this point and blue from there, you will spend these 20 minutes without being able to clearly perceive the changes in the sound itself.

Transition 2

Christmas can be a stressful time for some. 

To help, I've written an hour of original ambient Mountain Range music to help you drift off.

This winter in the UK is a really hard one. The cost of living crisis is keeping us up at night as we try to figure out to keep costs down and our heads above water. But there are so many that could and will lose their homes and need support, as well as those that don't have homes at all.

If you'd like to donate to Shelter, a UK charity that fights homelessness and supports people struggling with housing problems.
